Schools in Derbyshire

340 schools with published admissions figures

Page 6 of 6. Showing 40 of 340 schools.

The newest figures for each school. "1st prefs per place" is how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It measures demand, not whether a child would get a place. A dash means the figure is not available.

How the 2026 round went in Derbyshire

Primary

For September 2026, 94.5% of families applying for a primary place here were offered their first choice, and 99.2% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 1.7 points higher than in 2016, when it was 92.8%.

The council's primary schools between them had 9,875 places for 7,189 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.

Secondary

For September 2026, 94.5% of families applying for a secondary place here were offered their first choice, and 98.5% were offered one of the three schools they named.

That is 1.2 points lower than in 2016, when it was 95.7%.

The council's secondary schools between them had 8,818 places for 7,971 applications. That is a total for the whole council and says nothing about any one school in it.

If a family is refused a place

In 2026, families in Derbyshire lodged 380 appeals about a school place.

260 of them were heard by a panel and 69 succeeded, which is about 27 in every 100 heard.

The other 120 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.

This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.

Source: Department for Education, admission appeals in England, reporting year 2026. Counts every school in this council area. The share that succeeded is taken over appeals heard by a panel, not over appeals lodged.
